Open Day

[HMCTech]

It's our school open day today, and as it kindly fell on my Saturday I have to be here all day (usually school finished at quatre to 1pm). Im enjoying myself reciving emails from people who have left thigns to the very last minute. Watching all the good kit get brought out onto the lawns and such. Mini busses getting a wash down and everyone looking smart.

 

I do like these days as a break for normality.

Did I read that right? There is normally school on Saturday? Is it sports lessons etc, or proper classroom lessons?

 

Scary thought that... Mon-Fri is bad enough!

Yeh full lessons for all the school, preparatory too. Usually just 8:45 till 1pm tho.

We dont do activities as such but there is CCF on a thursday which is combined cadet force. They all get dressed up in camo, air force or navy uniforms and do things such as rifle shooting, marching and so forth. All very odd to me. Altho Sergeant Major is a good laugh.

The school i worked at was open on saturdays as well. Used to always get over 100 pupils in. The school is also open on sundays but to the community.
